Had HIM Secure.

An esteemed contributor recently from
the North, writes us as follows from
South Florida. He is probably not aware
of the fact that "smali and insignificant
officers are unable to cope with large and
powerful criminals in a hand to hand
tussle, and that it was a wise precaution
on the part of the little officer to keep all
the advantage on his side in conducting
his prisoner from one place to another.
Such criminals as our correspondent de
scribes are plentiful in Florida, and that
he missed the white man at whom he
shot was no good sign that he would not
break away from a careless officer and
hit the next one that might arouse his
anger. We do not believe in unnecessary
cruelty TO criminals, but our friend will
agree that crime should be punished,
whether it be committeu by white or
black:
LEEsBURG, Jan. 90, 1887.
AT Dade City this morning, a bright
looking young colored man, about 90
years of age, tall and well formed, was
led into the car by a small sized log chain
fastened around his bare neck by large
paddock. A small-sized. insignificant
looking man was holding the other end
Of the chain with one hand, and a shot
gun in the other. The negro had shot at
q white man, but mi 'sed him. He was
arrested, had his preliminary trial, and
was forwarded to Brooksville thus Sc
cured. All the passengers saw it.

OUR GROVES AND FARMS.


A Model Town and It's Neighborhood
Pine Woods and Hammock-A
Thrifty Grove.
Seville, on the Jacksonville, Tampa &
Key West Railway, has many of the
features recognized as distinguishing
new towns in Florida from all
others of the genus. Here wealthy
gentlemen from the North have
put out the money IN advance, to
make the town worthy of what it will
be ten years from to-day. 1t is all laid
out, and severed and watered, and pre-
pared in other ways for the population
which will come hereafter to fill its va
cant places, and so far is model in a
branch Of industry unique among US.
But after consultation with Major
Healey, who takes the visitor in his spe.
cial care, we drive out into the country
and find other things equally peculiar to
our State. The land is generally roll
ing, covered with lofty pines, but often
interspersed with small tracts of ham,
mock, on which flourish the oak, mag
nolia, bay and hickory. Dwelling here
are some Of our most thrifty Crackers"
q race of Florida farmers often regarded
- mythical. Prominent among these
are the Braddocks, who have lived here
for generation and who are known all
over East Florida. They make their liv-
ing st;home, raise their own hogs and
cows, make fine crops of potatoes, cotton
do
more like those of Georgia than of Flor
ida As conceived by the visitor who
lives at hotels and is contented TO return
after seeing an orange grove.
We stop at the house of VIM. Brad
dock, and are soon satisfied that his life is
little like that the of typical orange gruw-
or. He has several hundred acres of land
instead Of a small ''lot;" he has stockof
all kinds about him, and he is a true
farmer, for on tho home place is grown
all the necessaries Of life. The soil here
10 what il called gray hammock. and
flourishing bearing grove Of three acres,
fronting on beautiful woodland lake,
shows that it is good for oranges as we'll
as "truck." His fields are clean, his
houses comfortable. and he has evidently
played his part well. He takes us back
to the pines, and shows us another grove
Of six acres in full bearing. each tree
beauty, clean, fresh and healthy.
This place is not alone; there are 9TH
ers like it all through Florida. and those
who think our "backwoods" devoid of
interest and our Crackers" all lazy and
ignorant, should leave the river and rail-
roads and be convinced that there is
much in our State yet undreamed of in
the philosophy of the careless visitor.

"A Protest.

Editor of the PALArKA NEWS:
Who will be benefited by the Palatka
Water Works? Will Palatka or the city
OF Boston most? These questions may
seem improper, and perhaps out of place,
but 1.consider them important. and of
great Importance to the city of Palatka.
The work Of putting down mains has
been commenced in earnest, but who are
employed in this work? Are our labor
ers or mechanics benefited? is the bust
ness OF our city benefited? l say no.
dave We men in our midst who can
move dirt and dig a ditch? Can our la
borers be depended upon? l say yes.
Then why did Mr.. Wheeler not employ
men who are to be consumers of the
city?
linen, who are to be taxed to help pay
Ior the city supply? Heat hen, who come
among US, and live, as it were, on noth-
ing, VINO, instead of buying food and
settnnR themselves In pleasant quarters,
ano hve hke people, and add respectable

We came to large piece OF timber, and
while passing through it had my frat
experience with the honey bird Of South
Africa This curious little bird L., 10
sig. and plumage, about like an English
sparrow, aud gcts his nams from the
fact that the little fellow, who is very
fond of honey, being unable to obtain it
for himself, will lead men to the places
where wild bees have hidden stores OF
rich wild honey. Wherever this bird
sees man he will fly close 10 lin, how
cring around, uttering twittcring
sound; then he will so of in the dircc-
ton of the place generally trcc) where
the honey is, flying backward aud for
ward in ziszas fashion. Then back
he will come, twittering in tho sam,
an1nncr. rs il to say, ''Come along. I'll
show you where it is" These actions
are repeated until the treo is reached,
when the bird will indicate il very plain
~ by flying to it and lowering around
II the distance is great. and some
times the honey bird will lead person
who is willing to follow distance of
ten miles, he viii wait on tree until
the follower comes up and will then
continue his business Of plotting. He
is very persistent and will do his
best to draw any one on, but if the party
is not posted about honey birds aud re.
fuses to follow, or goes in the wrong
direction, the bird will leave, probably
in search Of some person who will APP
prcciate his efforts to provide him with
sweetmeats.
While the bees are being smoked out
and the honey taken up, tho bird will
hover over the vicinity until the job is
done, when Of course his reward comes
in the shape of feast on the fra ,ments
that are left. If he knows of other
hives, just as soon rs one is disposed Of
he will lead the way to another, and I
have, since this time, known as many as
four trees to be taken up by a party in
one day. When the honey bird has
shown one tree, il the hunters are salts
fed with that and refuse TO follow him
further, he leaves them; but have never
heard of an instance in which the bird
misled any one in regard TO finding
honey. 1t frequently happens, however,
that honey bird will lead person into
very dangerous places, and unless the
hunter keeps his eyes about him, when
following this bird, he may run right
onto lion, vcnomous snake, or some
other equally undesirable acquaintance.

IN. Quad" tells how tho Confederate
General McCulloch, in 1868, attacked
the Fedcrals at Milliken's ID md. Six
hundred mules wcrc secured. and each
solder advanced b.hind n mule, thus
sheltered by living brcastwork. As
soon az the mules came under fire they
reared, plunged, and kicked so that they
were sources of danger instead Of safety.
The mules were failure rs breastworks.
The Federals thought the mule business
was very good JOKE on the Con-
icdcrates, but here is one TO match il.
At New Hope some military genius con-
ccivcd the idea OF br akinr the Con-
fcderaies' line by driving big herd Of
bccvcs against it. 0nc night about 10
o'clock, when it was very dark, the
6ccvcs were massed, and the Fcderals
who were to follow got ready to move.
Tic Confederates caught on" rs the
Arabs say, and opening their line, all
lowed The bceves to pass through, and
then closing, devoted themselv YES to hold 4.
ing the Fcdcrals in check. In that they
were entirely successful. The Con-
fcderatcs enjoyed the Federal beef, and
werc willing to take more at the same
